No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by. ↗

— Franz Schubert

Viewed from a distance, or through the eye of the All-Knowing CEO of the Universe, the crash of 2008 followed the usual pattern. A long-lived boom driven by cheap credit, going back as far as 1982 (though subject to interruptions in the mid-1980s and 1990s, and in 2001), came to grief because of a rise in the cost of borrowing money. ↗

Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how. ↗
